Help for Fart Odors

OK where else can I come with this kind of question and not worry too much about criticism LOL!

I have a chair that I do my treatments in plus spend a lot of time in general in because its comfortable for my back.

It appears according to my nose that my gas issues have penetrated the cloth on the chair MORE then I realized. I have tried using my steam cleaner, Febreeze, perfume etc and the aroma lingers while sitting here. It doesnt seem to infiltrate the rest of the Living Room, but if you sit in the chair IMHO its definitely there.

I also had this issue with the chair in my office when I worked. HOWEVER; since I worked at our local hospital they had a commercial spray of some sort that actually worked. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

This chair will be going bye bye eventually as its a cheap glider/rocker that I was given when I was pregnant & we hope to purchase 2 new chairs sometime soon. BUT even if we do unless they are treated to be odor resistant (and then it probably cant hold up to CF gas) I will run into a similiar problem.

I will also mention that the aroma seems more noticable to me when it is humid out.

HELP!

We use a carpet powder for pet odors. I think its by Arm & Hammer. Sprinkle it on the chair, leave overnight and vacuum up.

Sounds like an "Ode to my new car smell" blog!!
I pretty much did all I could for the car smell, so it sounds like when that chair is replaced, I think there's some 3M water-resistant and stain-resistant spray still around. That might be worth checking out.
The other thing is to not pass gas in the chair...take it elsewhere. I did that with my new cars...no passing gas unless dire emergency, and the new car smell has been able to outlast the CF smell! Though a combination of the 3M spray might give a longer lasting life and endurance....

I forgot about you car Fred LOL! Passing gas elsewhere is ok as long as I am not strapped into my vest. Sadly tho that is when most of my gas seems to rise to the occaision. I suppose its all the shaking.

I will try the arm/hammer baking soda &/or carpet powder, Jane. I am hoping that it "neutralizes" rather then covering up which doesnt seem to work.
